• Secretary of States as Federal Employees of EAC and State

method, in a decennial census, to determine the population for
purposes of the apportionment or redistricting of Members in
Congress shall be considered the use of such method
in connection with that census; and (2) the report ordered by title
VIII of Public Law 105-18 and the Census 2000 Operational Plan
shall be deemed to constitute final agency action regarding the use
of statistical methods in the 2000 decennial census, thus making
the question of their use in such census sufficiently concrete and
final to now be reviewable in a judicial proceeding.
(d) For purposes of this section, an aggrieved person
(described in subsection (b)) includes--
(1) any resident of a State whose congressional representation or
district could be changed as a result of the use of a statistical
method challenged in the civil action; (2) any Representative or
Senator in Congress; and (3) either House of Congress.
(e)(1) Any action brought under this section shall be heard
and determined by a district court of three judges in accordance
with section 2284 of title 28, United States Code. The chief judge
of the United States court of appeals for each circuit shall, to the
extent practicable and consistent with the avoidance of
unnecessary delay, consolidate, for all purposes, in one district
court within that circuit, all actions pending in that circuit under
this section. Any party to an action under this section shall be
precluded from seeking any consolidation of that action other than
is provided in this paragraph. In selecting the district court in
which to consolidate such actions, the chief judge shall consider
the convenience of the parties and witnesses and efficient conduct
of such actions. Any final order or injunction of a United States
district court that is issued pursuant to an action brought under
this section shall be reviewable by appeal directly to the Supreme
Court of the United States. Any such appeal shall be taken by a
notice of appeal filed within 10 days after such order is entered;
and the jurisdictional statement shall be filed within 30 days after
such order is entered. No stay of an order issued pursuant to an
action brought under this section may be issued by a single
Justice of the Supreme Court.
- 19 -
(2) It shall be the duty of a United States district court hearing an
action brought under this section and the Supreme Court of the United
States to advance on the docket and to expedite to the greatest possible
extent the disposition of any such matter.
CONCLUSION
That were Judge Arcara aware of the related case NDNY 06-cv-
263 filed March 1, 2006 as Appellants contend then the Judge did not
mention it in either his order March 29, 2006 issued six days after the
the August 14, 2006 order to transfer venue, therefore both are flawed
and must be taken into consideration by this court for remand there.
That Judge Kahn and Sharpe have played fast and furious with
issues raised in both cases- it does not belong before Judge Kahn; and
new in that there are ongoing appeals before this court that the issues

RE: 1:06cv-1002&1:04-cv-1193
Dear Mr.Stnmk,
I have reviewedyour letters dated June 17,2010 and June 29,2010, Dkt Nos. 137 and
138 filed in 1 :06-cw1002, and Dkt. Nos. 128 ad 129 filed in 1 :Wv-1193, wherein you are
having issues with the filing of the appeals in the above-captioned cases.
The document you have attached as an "Amended Notice of Appeal" was properly filed
as a "Notice of Appealn on March 8,2010, in the 1 :06-cv-1002 on behalf of John-Joseph Forjone
@kt. No. 135) as the filed document is signed only by plaintiff John-Joseph Forjone on March 4,
20 10. I am enclosing a certified copy of docket no. 135 for your reference.
The document you have now attached is an altered copy of the original filed document
@kt. No. 135) and has been changed to an "Amended Notice of Appealn and signed by you on
March 15,2010, but has not been received by the Court as there is not a new Filed stamp mark
on the document after March 15,2010; therefore, the appeals that were received by the Albany
Clerk's Oftice, have been properly docketed.
I am directing the Clerk to file the Amended Notice of Appeal on your behalf as of June
22,2010, which is the receipt of the document by the Clerk's Office.

European governments in addition to those of Canada, the United States and the Asian countries

was further amended in the 1999 Charter for European Security. Together, these documents form

36. Nowhere in the United States does a non-citizen have a civil right to vote in any
Federal Election at the state level and therefore VAP must only be defined as CVAP.
37. New York only uses those U.S. Citizens who are registered to vote, and is not
OREGON all require that only US Citizens be allowed to vote would violate their own state

names of those who moved.. Inflated voter lists are also caused by phony registrations and
efforts to register individuals who are ineligible…. At the same time, inaccurate purges of voter

Erie County, NY - Our review determined that the Boards staffing structure of 36 full-time
employees is sufficient to meet normal election requirements if supplemented by appropriate part-
time and seasonal employees, said Poloncarz. However, our auditors determined that the Board
does not have sufficient funding for part-time employees to meet 2006 election responsibilities
53. In the September 2005 GAO Report 05-956 on ELECTIONS it found that:
While electronic voting systems hold promise for improving the election process, numerous entities have
raised concerns about their security and reliability, citing instances of weak security controls, system design
flaws, inadequate system version control, inadequate security testing, incorrect system configuration, poor
security management, and vague or incomplete voting system standards (see below for examples). It is
important to note that many of these concerns were based on specific system makes and models or a
specific jurisdiction’
s election, and there is no consensus among election officials and other experts on their
pervasiveness. Nevertheless, some have caused problems in elections and therefore merit attention.
Federal organizations and nongovernmental groups have issued both election-specific recommended
practices for improving the voting process and more general guidance intended to help organizations
manage information systems’security and reliability. These recommended practices and guidelines
(applicable throughout the voting system life cycle) include having vendors build security controls and audit
trails into their systems during development, and having election officials specify security requirements when
acquiring systems. Other suggested practices include testing and certifying systems against national voting
system standards.
The federal government has begun efforts intended to improve life cycle management of electronic voting
systems and thereby improve their security and reliability. Specifically, EAC has led efforts to (1) draft
changes to existing federal voluntary standards for voting systems, including provisions addressing security
and reliability; (2) develop a process for certifying voting systems; (3) establish a program to accredit
independent laboratories to test electronic voting systems; and (4) develop a library and clearinghouse for
information on state and local elections and systems.
However, these actions are unlikely to have a significant effect in the 2006 federal election cycle because
important changes to the voting standards have not yet been completed, the system certification and
laboratory accreditation programs are still in development, and a system software library has not been
updated or improved since the 2004 election. Further, EAC has not consistently defined specific tasks,
processes, and time frames for completing these activities; as a result, it is unclear when their results will be
available to assist state and local election officials.
54. An example in the matter of impropriety and the failure of the city of New York to
enforce the election law by equal time place, manner, and flouts the appearance of impropriety in
the matter reported on January 26, 2006 by the New York Daily news article entitled “
Board
“Diane Haslett Rudiano- Despite a City Department of Investigation probe that found she lied
about her voting address, an embattled Brooklyn Board of Elections honcho will keep her job, the
Daily News has learned.
Board of Elections officials declined to punish Diane Haslett Rudiano - even though city
investigators said she lives in Forest Hills, Queens, and not at the East New York address listed
in voter registration records.
"Her attorney made a case and gave supplemental documentation that wasn't part of the DOI
investigation," said Board of Elections Executive Director John Ravitz.
"And [election commissioners] decided that the residency issue DOI raised wasn't sufficient
enough for disciplinary action against Rudiano."
Board of Elections commissioners unanimously voted to clear Haslett-Rudiano of the election law
felony charges at a closed Tuesday hearing.
Haslett-Rudiano, who earns $76,817 as the borough's top Elections Board employee, is
responsible for making sure election laws are upheld.
"I think it's a disgrace," said Sam Sloan, the political gadfly who notified the investigators of
Haslett-Rudiano's address flap last year.
"I went to her supposed house," said Sloan. "I talked to 30 of her neighbors who had never seen
her there. The idea that she claims she's been living there all these years is just preposterous."
Haslett-Rudiano represents East New York, Bushwick and Cypress Hills as an elected district
leader in the Brooklyn Republican organization.
According to her voter registration records, Haslett-Rudiano has lived in a modest two-story
Schenck Ave. house since 1988. The owner of the building, Theresa McGovern, 99, said Haslett-
Rudiano lives on the second floor.
Property records show Haslett-Rudiano owns several properties, including an upper West Side
townhouse and two Queens homes.
The Investigation Department report wasn't made public, and a Freedom of Information Law
request to reveal its contents was rejected.
55. On March 15, 2006 –an EXCLUSIVE New York Post article entitled “
Hill Foe Registers
McFarland, a wealthy Park Avenue matron who announced last week that she'll seek the GOP
nomination to challenge Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, didn't vote in nearly half of the state
elections since 1991, records show.
She skipped six of the past 14 elections - starting from the time she registered as a Republican in
late 1991, Board of Election records for New York City and Suffolk County show.
McFarland, a Reagan administration official in the early 1980s, has maintained two voting
addresses since 1996: at her posh Park Avenue home and at her family's stunning second home
on a small island near Southampton, according to the records.
She pingponged her vote from Manhattan to Southampton in various years, casting her ballot
from the Ram Island address in 1998 and 1999, but voting from Park Avenue in 2000 and 2001.
She skipped the 2002 and 2003 elections, and then it was back to voting in Southampton in 2004,
according to the records.
State law makes it a felony to be registered at two addresses during the same election cycle,
according to state Board of Elections spokesman Lee Daghlian.
"When you change the place you've been voting, a new registration has to be filed, showing that
you've changed your address," Daghlian said.
Her spokesman, William O'Reilly, said, "We don't know the circumstances around the missed
votes, but we will make no excuses for them."
McFarland's newly hired election lawyer, Josh Ehrlich of Albany, insisted there was "no criminal
intent, no venality here," but conceded the law does not allow dual registrations.
"This is a case of the boards of elections not doing their jobs . . . She should have been turned
away," Ehrlich insisted.
Records at the two boards show McFarland registered as a Republican in Manhattan in late 1991
and then registered again as a GOPer in Southampton in 1996.
State Republican Chairman Stephen Minarik said yesterday it would "probably make more sense"
for the GOP to give its nod to McFarland's opponent, ex-Yonkers Mayor John Spencer.

The Federal Election Commission website http://www.fec.gov/pages/vapwords.htm, with emphasis added
by Strunk quote: “ A Few Words About Voting Age Population (VAP)
The term Voting Age Population (VAP), refers to the total number of persons in the United States who are
18 years of age or older regardless of citizenship, military status, felony conviction, or mental state.
The standard source of VAP figures is the Bureau of Census, as reported in their Current Population
Reports, Series P-25.
Extreme care must be taken when using VAP figures as a basis for measuring voter participation
in elections for federal office. The actual number of eligible voters, those that are legally entitled to vote,
will always be less than the VAP because of the inclusion of resident aliens (both legal and illegal), as
well as convicted felons who are either institutionalized or who have not yet had their voting rights
restored under the various State laws, persons declared non-compos mentis by a court of law, or those
persons otherwise ineligible to vote. Neither the Bureau of Census nor any other organization can define
with complete accuracy exactly how many eligible voters there are in the United States. According to
1994 estimates, approximately 13 million persons over the age of 18 were not U.S. citizens. (Non citizens
make up the largest group of ineligible voting age persons. In contrast, the next largest group,
institutionalized felons, who are prohibited by State law from voting in all but 4 States, numbered only
about 1.2 million at the end of 1996.) In spite of these shortcomings, the lack of accurate eligibility figures
requires political analysts to employ voting age population as a base number for comparisons of
participation in the political process.
The other significant variable one must keep in mind when dealing with VAP is the fact that the
Bureau of Census actually uses 3 separate sets of voting age population figures in any given federal
election:
Projected Voting Age Population
Estimated Voting Age Population
Current Population Survey
The Projected Voting Age Population is provided by Census in the Spring of each election year.
These figures are only "quick and dirty" extrapolations from previous data and are therefore unofficial
approximations. These figures include members of the armed forces where they reside at their duty
stations, but exclude the military and civilian population overseas and their dependents of voting age who
would be eligible to vote by absentee ballot in their home State. These early figures are used primarily to
satisfy the needs of the news media and political strategists.
The Estimated Voting Age Population are based on a sample survey conducted in the Summer of
the election year and are thus "official" estimates as of July 1st and are certified as such by the
Commerce Department. These figures include military and institutionalized populations but (in 1996) were
not adjusted for the 4 million undercount in the 1990 census. The value of these statistics lies in their

Current Population Survey numbers are generated by Census each month based on
extrapolations from the previous years estimates. In contrast, these figures do not include military or
institutionalized persons, but are adjusted for the 4 million undercount.
For statistical purposes, the Federal Election Commission has opted to use the Current
Population Survey figures for its report to Congress on the NVRA largely out of professional convention.

175. That the New York state legislature controlled by the permanent oligarchy
despite absolute need for merger and consolidation of municipalities in order to afford US
citizens within equal protection and treatment under the law according to the state constitution
merely plantations to extract bounty with impunity from the non-majoritarian People left without
a dedicated voice within in the state legislature as they were devised in the 19th century as the
map of municipalities and New York Municipal subdivisions History depicts as follows:

Municipal
Subdivision History
registrations with plausible denial by the State refusal to setup a real time statewide database,
177. That each individual municipality with implementation of NVRA has lost control
of the accuracy of the original registration database, as was intentionally done to create plausible
denial to effect a scheme to defraud the election process by Defendant BOE and those yet named
based upon the pattern shown since implementation of NVRA nationally and since its adoption
178. On March 23, 2006 the special counsel to the BOE inferred that the State Board
may have to sue each municipal board of elections to implement HAVA requirements and in
effect is not representing the municipalities per se in the Case USA v NYS NDNY 06-cv-263.
179. Notably both Niagara and Cayuga Counties refuse the dictates of the NYS BOE.
180. On March 23, 2006 the Assistant Attorney general of the State of New York
appearing for the entities of New York State in USA v NYS stated that the NYS Ag in the matter
of NVRA and HAVA can not adequately represent the interests of the People of New York.
181. On April 20, 2006 the Executive Director Robert Freeman of the Committee for
Open Government of the Office of the New York Secretary of State held in a written opinion that
the DOJ advisary to the NYS BOE and New York State has repeatedly improperly attended the
Executive Session of the Board of Election closed sessions without public access or record there
182. There is a body of evidence that the Defendant State Board has NOT enforced the
requirement of EL §5-213 be done by each Municipal Board, enforcement is non existent when
State Municipal subdivisions and agents yet named as Defendants pursuant to above
paragraphs 19 thru 182 intentionally fail to maintain an accurate original voter registration
database on a municipal by municipal basis as required under color of NVRA and HAVA and
184. That Municipal defendants under EL §4-138 pass-on the expense of administering
elections to the real property owners by tax levy outside of NYC and by users fees and other
185. That Defendant Municipalities depicted in Chart Line Item 24 thru 58 have a
the partisan control over patronage policy, purse and especially the real property tax levy
empowered under local government Homerule law, pass on the all unfunded expenses for
186. Municipal Defendants over the years based upon public records display a pattern
of intentional concealment and cover-up in regards to accurately noticing and segregating the
actual Medicaid costs required under Social Service Law related to the Social Security Act, as
real property outside NYC, as excise users fees within NYC whose tax burdens are staggering.
187. That were the other states of the several states to honestly and legally to make
reimbursement claims for HAVA funds using the narrow interpretation of VAP based upon
rigorous use and enforcement of the respective state constitution and laws less HAVA funds
188. Accordingly based upon the narrow interpretation of the HAVA VAP
reimbursement formula, rather than the intentionally over broad use of VAP as
unconstitutionally vague, when in fact in all state law non-citizens, and the civilly dead are NOT
189. Therefore, the state of New York and the respective municipalities subdivisions
would receive a significantly greater HAVA reimbursement, thereby relieving the real property
owners as a jus tertii class including plaintiffs with property along with those people within
NYC, would not be burdened with unreasonable higher taxes as a result of such legal narrow
interpretation of VAP.
190. That Plaintiffs are not legally represented in the state legislature with a dedicated
voice or other recourse other than Federal court and that State Defendants, State Municipalities
and rubber stamp by DOJ of the April 22, 2002 gerrymander of state and federal districts
191. Gerrymander per se is done by mis application and administration of the state
constitution and laws, contradicts the express required total number and allotment of State Senate
Districts (“
SDs”
) location, and ratio of Assembly Districts (“
ADs”
) seats within;
192. Statewide allocation, size, number of State Senate and Assembly seats for the
people resident within each existing municipality entitled to no less than two (2) ADs and a
dictated by the state constitution and related laws, however is not complied with.
194. As and for a Sixth Cause of Action Petitioners Allege Defendants State of
California, Nevada, Oregon, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and other states of several states to
numerous to name whose agents yet named as Defendants, pursuant to above paragraphs 19 thru
193, intentionally fail to maintain an accurate original voter registration database on a municipal
by municipal basis as required under color of NVRA and HAVA and N.Y.S. Election Law.

177,515k are native born citizens, 10,683k naturalized citizens totaling 188 mil. And when the
civilly dead are subtracted by say 3 mil. equals say 185 mil. Eligible voters nationally therein

201. That as of February 10, 2005 a California compliance submission to the DOJ and
EAC in the matter of use of the term “
Eligible”notes that “the figures under the heading
‘
Eligible’in these sections represent our estimate of the number of people in California who are
eligible to register to vote as of February 10, 2005”
; and quote that
the “ Population estimate data from the Population Research Unit of the Department of Finance
were used to estimate each county’ s total population. Subtracted from this total was the
estimated number of persons ineligible for registration because of age, felony convictions, and
citizenship status. The figures given are unofficial but represent a reasonable estimate of the
eligible population.”
202. Like the California Constitution portion shown below only US Citizens may vote
and as in Texas Election Law §11.001 and §11.002 that defines Eligibility to Vote and
“
Qualified Voter”using only US Citizen eliminates non-citizens and the civilly dead in keeping
Texas Constitution Article 6 Section 2 Subsection (a) Every person subject to none of the disqualifications provided
by Section 1 of this article or by a law enacted under that section who is a citizen of the United States and who is a
The CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION ARTICLE 2 VOTING, INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM, AND RECALL
SEC. 2. A United States citizen 18 years of age and resident in this State may vote.
203. That the Texas compliance submission to the DOJ and EAC in the matter of use of
the term “
Eligible”notes that its VAP according to the 2000 Census is 14,965,061; as follows:
the use of VAP versus CVAP, that a thorough review of the public records of each state of the
several states and territories will reveal in comparison the 2000 Census enumeration for nativity
and State Plans submissions to the Election Assistance Commission evidenced by the Federal
205. Federal Election Commission (FEC) basis for which VAP (shown in footnote #11)
is used differently from state to state and would properly create an offset and resolution for
registration database- i.e. the underlying reason for HAVA and the National Voter Registration
206. The imperative to catch the rampant vote fraud and abuse nationally and statewide
207. The Chart below compares the actual numbers used by New York with a
$221,000,000 funds figure that is subject to HAVA funding variations caused by arbitrary use of
VAP by California and Texas in the state compliance submissions to the DOJ and EAC:
the Chart shows that New York even with a large number of non-citizens like both Texas and
California, however New York has relatively less aliens, and therefore is more significantly
accordingly New York Citizens are denied equal protection as a result of California and
especially Texas gaming the system without proper Voting Rights Act compliance oversight and
equal treatment afforded by DOJ review and certification for the EAC to equally disburse funds.
208. That Injury to Plaintiffs is significant and palpable by the very nature of the
underlying causes of action stated above in paragraphs 58 thru 207, Petitioners / Plaintiffs
individually and collectively as a class as those similarly situated are irreparably injured by
209. As and for a First Injury to Petitioners per above paragraphs 1 thru 208
under proper administration and application of the NVRA, HAVA and NYSC and Laws .
210. Because of virtually no vote fraud enforcement, motor voter registration, driver's
licenses for illegal aliens, amnesties and other factors, American's most precious liberty, voting,
211. As and for a Second Injury to Petitioners per above paragraphs 1 thru 210
Respondents injure Petitioners by denial of equal treatment under Election Law, deny
plaintiffs vote strength as is related both to gerrymandering and arbitrary enforcement of law.
212. As and for a Third Injury to Petitioners per above paragraphs 1 thru 211
available for U.S. Citizens in the Federal 1st amendment as related to the 14th Amendment by
denial of due process and equal treatment under Election Law and redistricting violation of the
Federal Respondents as a Bivens 1st, 4th 5th 8th 13th 14th 15th amendments injury disenfranchise
214. As and for a Fifth Injury to Petitioners per above paragraphs 1 thru 214 State
rights as reverse discrimination prohibited by VRA under a scheme to defraud under color of the
215. As and for a Sixth Injury to Petitioners per above paragraphs 1 thru 214
autonomy rights and unlawful takings by patterns of fraud under multiple schemes to defraud
216. As and for a Seventh Injury to Petitioners per above paragraphs 1 thru 215
Respondents injures Petitioners’1st, 4th, 5th, 9th, 10th Amendment Right as U.S. Citizens who as
New York State Citizens with sovereignty granted in each state of the several states are to be
217. As and for a Eighth Injury to Petitioners per above paragraphs 1 thru 216
Respondents injure Petitioners’as jus tertii classes where they reside since April 22, 2002 having
expended state available remedy are without a means to provide for reasonable amendment to the
State Constitution.
218. As and for a Ninth Injury to Petitioners per above paragraphs 1 thru 217 in
the matter of CVAP unequal treatment of the unfunded HAVA mandate on a municipal entity-
by-entity basis Defendants deny substantive due process for the EL §4-138 unfunded mandate as
219. As and for a Tenth Injury to Petitioners per above paragraphs 1 thru 218
notwithstanding 28 USC 1341 does not apply herein, the EAC under HAVA absent equity relief
would deprive Plaintiffs and the PEOPLE of NYS and of the several States by either Top-down
or Bottom-up suffrage, with Homerule autonomy, must afford equal protection of the law against
HAVA false claims, would otherwise qualify under the False Claims Act 31 USC 3729-3733.
220. As and for a Eleventh Injury to Petitioners per above paragraphs 1 thru 219
that damages to individual plaintiffs jus tertii within each respective municipality entitled to a
board of elections not in compliance with application and administration of the state constitution
and laws who by ultra vires offense, not least of which impose unequal EDs non-conforming
inspection, while maliciously requiring of real property tax per EL §4-138 as an unreasonable
burden by excessive expense, Plaintiffs as a jus tertii class require reimbursement for suffering
221. As and for a Twelfth Injury to Petitioners per above paragraphs 1 thru 220
that were any claim against the HAVA reimbursement transacted with DOJ and EAC for the
state of New York without bottom-up suffrage and Homerule compliance with the application
and administration of the state constitution and related laws such would be a false claim as
defined under 31 USC §3729 thru §3733 subject to treble damages and penalties against
Defendants with payment due to Plaintiffs as whistleblower / relator jus tertii as U.S. Citizens in
the name of the United State Government entitled to 15% to 30% of that recovered and a fee for
each false claim filed by any municipality not conforming as well as any state effecting as a false
injury to individual plaintiffs being denied expectation of effective suffrage participation date
exceeds $75,000.00.
WHEREFORE, Petitioners as “
whistleblower / relators”and those similarly situated as a
Federal class of CVAP within the state of New York and in the several states and territories urge
remedy from irreparable harm that warrants a 28 USC 2284 three judge panel for preliminary
injunction suspending HAVA filing deadlines, permanent injunction for equal treatment of
suffrage and autonomy for all New York State Citizens and CVAP nationwide entitled to
suffrage separate from non-citizens, minors and those adjudged civilly dead, Petitioners and
those similarly situated urge remedy and protection from irreparable harm that warrants

C. That the HAVA January 1, 2006 compliance deadline for each state of the several states be
stayed nationwide until such time that the court determines the constitutionality of the use of
VAP funding rather than CVAP without those adjudged civilly dead, and determines equity
for reimbursement using CVAP nationwide accordingly.
D. That each municipality entitled to a Board of Elections within must produce a compliance
plan proving conformance with the administration and application of the State Constitution
and laws in order to receive HAVA reimbursement for equity statewide in voting machine

F. That the municipalities of Hamilton and Fulton must elect together conterminous within one
single SD, AD and CD.
G. That the US Supreme Court held in the WMCA case that the State Constitution Article III
Section 4 formula for enlarging the number of SDs beyond the expressed provision of fifty
(50) is unconstitutional, and as such until such time that the NYSC is amended accordingly
with a new formula, there shall be fifty (50) SDs that shall each contain three ADs
coterminous within a CD and JD by proper application and administration of the NYSC and
laws to meet the requirements of the VRA, the U.S. Constitution and HAVA reimbursement
for ED voting machines.

additional voting machines provided and paid for by the EL §4-138 real property tax levy,
and furthermore, at the direction of any municipal legislature to the board of elections within
may decrease the number of EDs within such municipality to contain more active voters
beyond 950 AV not to exceed 1150 active voters, with the convenience proviso of ED
subdivision.
I. That redistricting of the each SD, AD, CD and adjoining SDs ADs and CDs is moot were it

Federal Court under 28 USC 2284.
J. That the NYC entity must be subdivided to prevent continued disproportionate diminished
dilution of EV / CVAP votes within NYC, excluding those adjudged civilly dead must be
enumerated at the domicile of conviction within NYC, as well as effect it has outside NYC.
K. That the NYC entity in the matter of the 1/3 rule and the ½ rule must be subdivided to
prevent majoritarian control over the state senate and therefore the assembly exclusive of any
other consideration involved when combined with either Westchester and or Nassau in the

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
Christopher Earl Strunk, each pro se and neither being an attorney under 18 USC
§1964(c), in addition to the relators matter under the False Claims Act (FCA) 31
pursuant to WDNY Local Rule 5.1 and 9.2 in conjunction with the Amended
Complaint to be duly filed by May 1, 2006 in compliance with the Order of the
The Amended Complaint has 221 paragraphs and Wherefore relief section
since the 1972 reapportionment, (ii.) those Plaintiffs with real property are

The enterprise in New York, centers the New York State BOE and its
agents, including every Municipal BOE and its agents, including Thomas Wilkey

parties for more than one hundred years) are all defendants as a class herein too

That the enterprise reaps unjust enrichment by taking intangible and tangible
mail and wire fraud while operating under color of the 1993 NVRA, 2002 HAVA
incorporated into the 1965 Voting Rights Act (VRA); and by operation of the
business detriment.
That under HAVA as an extension of NVRA, the enterprise and its agents
facilitate illegal mail-in voter registration(2) devised in a scheme that can only be
enforced by the respective state of the several states in many of which its agents
are of the enterprise itself. That the DOJ has refused to become involved as a rule
rather than exception, and when the State authorities refuse to do fiduciary duties
as the only agency that may ascertain the validity of the registration and or voting
scheme for unjust enrichment that willfully facilitates, aids and abets to defraud
Plaintiffs, those similarly situated, and the Federal Treasury by devaluing and or

That NYS BOE is at the center of the enterprise with respect to various New
York state subdivision municipal boards of election who are each either co-
registration, voting, and with use of the U.S. Mail funding the scheme by a pattern
of real property tax levy taking property differently outside NYC and other states
than within. That participants act under color of the VRA and related laws to aid
and abet illegal alien sanctuary per 18 USC §1324 (a) (1) (A) (iii.) (iv.), obstruct
INA process in the matter of facilitating illegal aliens to pose as US Citizens (4), to
obtain fraudulent documents (5), and then on the prime voters list used tangentially

activity of the enterprise involves mail and wire fraud defined under 18 USC

“ CHICAGO BALLOT CHAOS - NEW COMPUTER VOTE MACHINES MALFUNCTION, UNVERIFIABLE”
By Christopher Bollyn –American Free press Published March 27, 2006 - COOK COUNTY, Illinois—Chicago’ s use of
a flawed computerized voting system operated by a privately held foreign company reveals how meaningless and
absurd the “ democratic”process in America has become. Having observed voting systems across Europe, from
Serbia, Germany and Estonia to Holland and France, this reporter has noted that the most honest and transparent
elections are also the most simple.
The more complicated methods of voting, such as the unverifiable computerized voting systems widely used
across the United States, lack the most essential element of democratic elections—transparency.
The $50 million touch-screen and optical-scan voting system provided by Sequoia Voting Systems failed
across Chicago and suburban Cook County during the March 21 Illinois primary. However, the leading corporate-
controlled newspapers merely lamented the failures of the system without addressing its fundamental flaws or even
reporting that the company running the election is foreign-owned.
The “ high-tech”computerized voting system was “ cumbersome”and “ slow,”one mainstream Chicago
newspaper reported. The machines failed across the county causing “ plenty of frustration and confusion for voters,”
the paper reported. The ballots and votes from more than 400 precincts were still uncounted two days after the
election due to machine malfunctions and lost memory cartridges which contain the results.
Reports from other dailies noted that as of noon Wednesday, Chicago was missing memory cartridges from
252 polling stations while Cook County officials “ couldn’ t find”the results from 162 suburban precincts.
Election officials tried to assure the public that although nobody knew where all the ballots and computerized
memory cartridges were, they were “ most assuredly not lost.”
“I don’t trust that,”U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) said. “ This is Chicago. This is Cook County. We created
vote fraud, vote scandal and stealing votes. We created that mechanism. It became an art form.”
“Ballot chaos”is how another large Chicago newspaper described the situation in which the votes from
hundreds of precincts could not be found or counted on Election Night.
“We have accounted for the votes,”Langdon Neal, city election chairman told the publication. “ What we
haven’ t been able to do is count them.”
In one precinct on the Near South Side, for example, the Sequoia optical scanner failed to register anything
but Republican ballots. Although “ election officials”tried to repair the machine four times, by the end of the day it had
failed to register a single Democratic ballot in a precinct in which some 86 percent of the voters are Democrats.
When this reporter went to vote, the touch-screen machine went completely dead as the voter in front of me
pressed the button to print. When the poll workers were asked if other voters had had similar problems with the
equipment they said it had happened all day and showed me an unplugged machine that had broken down earlier.
When the polls closed at 7 p.m., American Free Press was at the Cook County Clerk’ s office to see how the
votes were tallied.
Citizens in Chicago, as in most American cities, are, however, forbidden from viewing or participating in the
any aspect of the vote-counting process.
The so-called counting of the votes is managed by some two dozen employees of Sequoia Voting Systems,
a privately held foreign company. These employees, many of whom are not even U.S. citizens, have “ full access”to
the “ back room area,”a sealed-off section of the 5th floor of the county clerk’ s office which is called the “ tally area.”
In Chicago, the person in charge of the tallying of the votes was a British employee of Sequoia named David
Allen from London. Allen, who ran the “ Sequoia War Room”in an office next to that of Cook County Clerk David Orr,
oversaw the “ tally room”team, which included a dozen Venezuelan employees, who operated the hidden computer
equipment that counts the votes.
As American Free Press has noted before, there are wire services such as the Associated Press, who could
be seen having direct connections leading from their computers to the hidden mainframe computer of the Sequoia
tallying system located behind the wall on the 5th floor of the clerk’ s office.
Senior executives from Sequoia Voting Systems and from its partner company, Smartmatic, such as
company president Jack A. Blaine and Roger Alejandro Piñate Martinez, vice president of special operations, also
had “ full access”to the tally area.
Sequoia, which was previously held by the British-based firm De La Rue PLC, a company, which produces
bank notes, travelers checks and cash handling equipment, was merged or combined with Smartmatic in March
2005.
Smartmatic, which has a U.S.-based office in Boca Raton, Fla., is headed by three young Venezuelans
along with Blaine, a former vice president with Unisys. A dozen Venezuelans could be seen managing the most
sensitive aspects of the recent election in Chicago.
Smartmatic, the parent company of Sequoia Voting Systems, obtained the company for a “ ridiculously low
amount of money,”Charles D. Brady, an analyst with Hibernia Southcoast Capital Inc., said at the time of the merger.
While De La Rue purchased 85 percent of Sequoia in 2002 for $35 million, it reportedly sold the growing
global company for only $16 million in 2005. Tracey Graham, then president of Sequoia, said more than 30
organizations had expressed interest in buying her company, yet no names of other bidders were given citing
“confidentiality agreements.”
The chief officers of Sequoia-Smartmatic are two 32-year old Venezuelans from Caracas, Antonio Mugica
and Alfredo Anzola. Anzola also works as a Venezuela-based lawyer brokering international oil deals with the
Cleveland law firm of Squire, Sanders & Dempsey.
“With the combination of Sequoia and Smartmatic, both proven innovators with accomplished track records
in either the U.S. or abroad, we are creating the first truly global leader in providing voter-verified electronic voting
systems,”Blaine said in March 2005 when the merger was announced.
There is, however, nothing verifiable about the Sequoia voting system used in Cook County. The voter has no way of
knowing if his vote has been counted or how it was counted.
The absolute lack of transparency in U.S. voting systems yields unverifiable election results, which can only
be accepted on faith. In Chicago voters are asked to trust the results produced by malfunctioning machines operated
by a privately owned foreign company.
Asked about the nature of the foreign company that runs elections in Cook County, Scott Burnham,
spokesman for Cook County Clerk Orr simply said, “ Ask Sequoia”and hung up the phone. Asked about the
ownership of the privately held company, Allen, who supervised the tally, refused to answer and handed the phone to
Michelle Shafer, the company’ s vice president and spokesperson.
Pressed about Allen’ s citizenship, Shafer finally admitted that the Sequoia employee who oversaw the tally
was, indeed, a British citizen who had been assisted by a team of Venezuelans.
Dimas Ulacio, one of the Venezuelan technicians who worked in the tally area spoke with American Free
Press. “ Who really owns Sequoia?”Ulacio was asked. “ Is Sequoia-Smartmatic truly a Venezuelan company or is it a
British-owned company masquerading as a Venezuelan company?”
Ulacio laughed but refused to answer.
While a high percentage of the precinct results—about 90 percent—are usually reported within one hour of
the polls closing, the Sequoia system failed to produce any results for nearly two hours. Only 44 percent of the
precinct results had been reported four hours after the polls closed.
The widespread failures of the Sequoia voting system in the Cook County election, Shafer said, made for a
“very typical Election Day in a jurisdiction where they are changing voting technology.”Rather than blame the
machines, Shafer blamed human error. (Issue #14, April 5, 2006) –

Excelsior, New York's motto of 'ever upward,' has evolved to mean ever
outward,' as tens of thousands of people flee Albany's tyranny; it's time to
get them back
By KEVIN WALTER
News Editorial Writer
4/30/2006
http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20060430/1071401.asp
The decision to move from New York could hardly have been more agonizing for Connie and
Tony Toledo, but they felt they had no choice. Tony had been laid off, and the state's hostile
business policies undermined the towing business he subsequently started. So the family left
Buffalo for North Carolina.
It was 2001 when Tony said goodbye to his lifelong hometown and Connie's adopted home of
15 years. The move devastated everyone: Tony, a product of Lafayette High School and a
devoted Bills fan; his father, Daniel, distraught over his son's departure; and the couple's oldest
child, Rachelle, a high school freshman and cheerleader who tumbled into a yearlong
depression.
The Toledos and other families whose experiences are recounted here are but a few of
hundreds of thousands of people who fled upstate New York over the past 40 years. They didn't
leave because of too much snow, or the Bills' Super Bowl frustrations, or lack of a new Peace
Bridge; they didn't decamp for Florida, North Carolina or Arizona because they liked hurricanes,
drought and wildfires.
They left to survive, to find work and an affordable cost of living, with a survivable tax burden.
They relocated to escape a state government that's beholden to special labor, lawyer and
lobbying interests and pays scant attention to taxpayers' needs.
It's not new that New Yorkers pulled up stakes - Excelsior, the state's motto, meaning "ever
upward," seems modified to "ever outward" - or that Albany's government continually
undermines its people. But the time is long past to try to fix it.
In this article and in editorials today through Thursday, The Buffalo News sets out to offer
solutions to a dysfunctional state government. They include a constitutional amendment on term
limits; objective redistricting to create competitive elections; further breaking the power of three
leaders in Albany; developing electoral accountability, rather than responsiveness to special
interests; and re-establishing a two-party system, with legitimate divergent philosophies that
give voters a choice and legislators a vision. Finally, and perhaps most doable, voters need to
1
shrug off their slumber and fight back, taking power and demanding meaningful reforms after
they throw the bums out.
For their part, the Toledo family tried to stay, wanted to stay. Unable to find work after he was
laid off from International Imaging - just eight months after the birth of the couple's third child -
Tony cashed in his retirement savings and borrowed $25,000 from his parents to start a towing
business. But he said that under the weight of the region's weak economy and New York's
exorbitant worker's compensation costs, the venture collapsed. They had to go.
Here is the difference between the economies of Buffalo and Greensboro, N.C. Once Tony
started looking for work there, it took only a couple of days to land a job and a relocation
package. He now works for Golden State Foods, a supplier to McDonald's, and Connie works
as an account representative for a national mortgage company.
Rachelle, now 18 and adjusted to her new life, is a college student (education costs are lower,
the Toledos say). Finally, Tony's parents, also lifelong Buffalonians, packed up and headed
South to be near their family.
It was an ordeal, its pistons driven by the Albany job-killing machine. Still, Connie said, the
Toledos agree that their anguish never altered this fundamental fact: Because of this region's
feeble economy and the obstacles New York puts in the way of business, they were left without
an alternative.
"It was the best decision we could have made," she said.
The numbers only begin to tell the woeful tale of New York, but they make a stark beginning. The figures
- on tax burdens, public spending and population transfer, among others - outline a story of a government
run amok and a state run into the ditch.
But numbers are cold. They only hint at the repercussions they have dealt to the residents of
this woefully mismanaged state: fractured hopes, lost opportunities, divided families. The
reasons behind those misfortunes are multiple and complex, but from a public policy standpoint,
they distill to Albany's deluded belief that New York is still the Empire State, a realm so splendid
that Americans will pay any price to live within its golden borders.
The numbers give the lie to that milk-and-honey fantasy, as well. Here are some, from
Governing magazine's State & Local Source Book for 2005 (figures are per capita, unless
otherwise noted):
* Total tax revenue, state and local, was the nation's highest, $4,645.
2
* Total spending was second highest, $10,376.
* Welfare spending was highest, $1,699, even though the number of recipients per 10,000
residents was only 16th highest.
* K-12 education spending (state and local) was second highest, $2,001, even though school
enrollment as a share of total population was fourth lowest. Spending per-pupil was highest,
$12,059.
* The average pay of state and local employees was second highest, at $52,450.
* The state was 40th in "economic momentum," a ranking of one-year changes in employment,
personal income and population. (It's not about cold and snow, either. Wyoming, Minnesota and
New Hampshire ranked 16, 17 and 18. The Dakotas were 7 and 8.)
The consequences of such numbers are both pernicious and predictable. People are leaving.
New York's share of the national population has steadily eroded, from 9.8 percent at mid-
century to 6.5 percent last year, according to the U.S. Census.
Then, New York controlled 43 of Congress' 435 seats. Today it holds 29. That's a 32 percent
decline. Less representation, less power; less power, less money.
Growth is slow
It's not that the state isn't growing; it's just that others are growing much faster, a trend that is expected to
continue. Census projections are that from 2000 to 2030, New York will grow more slowly than all but
four states. Meanwhile, some areas within New York - including Buffalo - are, in fact, shrinking, leaving
fewer residents to pay the ever-rising tax bill.
New York is the alcoholic among the states, not simply unable to moderate its self-destructive
behavior but uninterested in doing so. What's needed is an intervention. New York needs to
treat not just the symptoms of its compulsion but the underlying disease. It needs to revitalize its
enervated democracy by injecting healthy doses of competition - which is to say, fear - into the
political process.
Families split up
3
It doesn't sound like a mother's fondest wish, but Kathleen Jarnot says she's glad her children moved
away.
Glad is a relative term, of course. Jarnot would rather her children lived nearby, but jobs are
scarce. Things would have been difficult for them had they remained in Western New York,
where the children and their parents were born. So her son Jeff left for Virginia while daughters
Susan and Jennifer headed west to California.
"We have wonderful colleges here, but the jobs are there, and I'm glad they went there," said
Jarnot, who lives with her husband Daniel in Cheektowaga.
Daniel Jarnot understands that reality, as well, but he is less forgiving of it. Not only are his
children far away, his only grandson lives in California.
"You lose the normal family life," he said. "I don't like it at all."
For his part, Jeff has few regrets about his move to Reston, Va., where he works in sales for
Oracle, the software giant. Now 36, he worked in sales here for 11/2 years after graduating from
the State University of New York at Potsdam, but soon realized opportunities for advancement
were scarce in Western New York.
In 1995, while visiting a friend in Reston, he saw that the Washington Post's "help wanted"
section was overflowing with ads. He quit his job, sent out six resumes and quickly landed a
new position after just two interviews.
"In Buffalo, you could spend a long time finding a job," he said.
Jarnot has lived in Virginia for 11 years and, but for lingering sorrow over leaving an area he still
loves, never looked back. Why would he? He is selling a house whose value has risen 300
percent since he bought it in 1997. In Cheektowaga, the sale price of the average single-family
home rose just 14 percent over the same period, according to the Buffalo Niagara Association
of Realtors. That's less than one-twentieth the rate of increase.
New York didn't get this way by accident. In almost every way - economically, culturally, politically,
municipally - the state is in a class by itself. It contains within its borders extremes of wealth and poverty.
It was, and continues to be, a primary port of entry for immigrants. It includes a spectacularly complex
city that is far-and-away the nation's largest, an economic engine and power base unto itself.
As one former state legislator observed, it's no surprise that a state so steeped in diversity - and
in so many forms of it - would look different at the governmental level.
4
But it's one thing to expect the occasional departure from national norms, and far more
consequential when government becomes a compendium of radical departures, most moving it
in damaging directions for its people's welfare.
How consequential? Enough to spawn a Legislature so deviant it has been crowned as the
country's most dysfunctional.
That's a disorder with its own consequences, including a penchant for restricting the flow of
information from, to and within the Legislature, and for delivering squeaky-wheel policies that
benefit favored groups even as they drive out jobs, opportunity and population.
Much of the reason for New York's idiosyncratic government traces to downstate, a region of
enormous political clout, vast disparities of wealth and about zero interest in Albany.
Overwhelmingly Democratic, it elects liberals who have so weighted state government to the left
that Republicans - never too conservative to begin with - are satisfied with playing me-too
politics.
Instead of offering a competing, perhaps healthier, vision of state government, the putatively
conservative party has at best surrendered and at worst joined the opposition. New York
Republicans are the ideological prisoners of their political adversaries, and content to be so.
Unchecked Republican control could be awful, too, of course (see Washington). The problem
arises from the failure of a democratic imperative: a vigorous opposition.
A spending machine
With virtually no political competition to restrain the wild horses of the Democratic left, state government
is a runaway spending machine devoted first to self-preservation, second to its sugar-daddy sponsors and,
lastly, to the New Yorkers they are sworn to represent (and then, often with an asterisk attached).
Consider:
* Spending: Even with two-thirds of the government in Republican hands (the party owns the
Senate and has held the governor's office since 1995), state spending has nonetheless risen by
an average of 6.5 percent a year, 21/2 times the average rate of inflation.
And that's with the conservatives holding sway. During the 12 years Mario M. Cuomo was
governor, when Democrats held the balance of power, annual spending increases averaged a
dizzying 11.6 percent percent, though the ratio to inflation was about the same.
And remember: Those feverish growth rates are for a state whose per-capita spending is
already the nation's second highest.
* Self-preservation: New York lawmakers are expert at drawing "designer districts" - with oddly
drawn boundaries whose purpose is to deliver to incumbents of both parties legislative districts
that only a cadaver could lose.
5
In complying with the constitutional requirement to ensure proportional representation, states
must draw new districts after each census. Like many states, though, New York turns what
should be a civic act into a political one, bending lines to pack enough partisans into any given
district that a candidate of the wrong party has no chance of winning. Democrats keep the
Assembly and Republicans the Senate.
As Barbara Bartoletti of the New York State League of Women Voters told a local audience this
year: "Your elected officials get to choose you before you choose them."
That's only the start of how lawmakers in New York maneuver to protect their electoral flanks.
Strategically lax rules on lobbying, fund-raising and ethics give them a huge advantage over
challengers, enough to discourage many potential opponents even from running.
In addition, New York is one of the few states with an unregulated system of "member items" -
tax dollars given to individual legislators to distribute as they see fit. It's a kind of legalized vote-
buying.
* Favored groups: If you're a health care worker, a trial lawyer or one of a few other special
interests, good news. The levers of influence are within your grasp. If you're but a taxpayer, or a
small business owner trying to make it in an unfriendly state, you'll have to get in line. Your
problems may not be completely irrelevant to lawmakers (then again, they may), but they are of
decidedly less interest.
A couple of examples: Until Congress invalidated an antiquated state statute last year, car
companies could be held liable, sometimes for millions of dollars, if one of their leasing
customers injured someone while driving the vehicle. Part of the reason that law remained on
the books is the political clout of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, which wanted to
retain a law that gave them easy access to potentially rich lawsuits. Assembly Speaker Sheldon
Silver, a lawyer, is associated with a personal injury law firm.
Even more scandalously, the state's most powerful health care labor union, SEIU Local 1199,
drove a massive increase in the state's Medicaid program a few years ago. Sitting at the public
negotiating table as Gov. George E. Pataki and the two legislative leaders hammered out the bill
was the union president, Dennis Rivera. The reason: State leaders, especially Pataki, were
intimidated by the public beating Rivera and his wealthy organization could give them. Rivera
and his interests cut to the front of the line.
* The public interest: Fair-minded people would acknowledge that the 1999 expansion of
Medicaid, which created an insurance program known as Family Health Plus, included a
legitimate public component - even if it was rammed through the Legislature for political reasons
with no hearings, no debate and no real sense of its implications. The program, serving New
York's working poor, had a March enrollment of more than half a million people.
Ah, but that asterisk. The program was, at its inception, an expensive payoff to an unelected
powerbroker. Hofstra University law professor Eric Lane is more caustic about it. A former chief
6
counsel to the State Senate minority and primary researcher on the report that tagged the
Legislature as "dysfunctional," Lane calls the Rivera power grab a "sleaze job."
If an essential part of lawmakers' job is to be good and honest stewards of New Yorkers' tax
dollars, then they failed. It's not a recent problem, either.
It didn't take Gary Newton long to figure out he was going to have to leave Western New York to pursue
a career in agriculture. Unable to find work after he graduated from the State University of New York at
Geneseo with a bachelor of science degree, he left Niagara County for the Peace Corps.
He returned to Middleport two years later but stayed less than half a year. With his best job
prospect setting out rat bait in Niagara Falls, he left again, this time to pursue his doctorate.
That was 27 years ago. In more than a quarter century, things haven't changed in upstate New
York. Or in Albany, which he believes shares responsibility for the region's economic blight.
"I have cousins and an aunt and uncle still in Western New York," said Newton, a researcher
and professor at Prairie View A&M University near Houston. "They complain about the high
taxes."
High is right, especially compared to Texas, with no income tax and property tax rates that
would make a New Yorker swoon. Newton and his wife own an 1,800-square-foot house that
sits on half an acre. Their combined property tax bill - county, city and school - is $1,500.
A quarter century on, Newton says he still misses the area, and as recently as a year ago was
looking for ways to return. A possibility at SUNY-Geneseo didn't pan out, so it's on to year 28.
Excelsior.
A history of corruption
A thread of corruption runs through the history of government in New York, especially over the past
century or so. And while today's corruption is less about criminality than it is about sustaining a
purposefully anti-democratic power structure, the roots of the tree reach deep into the soil of a felonious
past.
Tammany Hall is a prime example. The corrupt Democratic political machine that ruled New
York City politics for decades was a de facto influence on Albany, as well.
Under the influence of Tammany Hall and its then-leader, William Marcy Tweed - "Boss Tweed"
- the governor and Legislature passed laws specifically designed to give Tammany greater
ability to ply its corruption, including the outright thievery of public money.
7
If that kind of overt criminality has largely bleached out of state government, its stain lingers in a
conspiracy of practices designed to stifle democratic debate by concentrating power in the two
legislative leaders.
Other, more legitimate reasons may also help explain that kind of autocratic power structure. By
some observers' reckoning, for example, the state's vast scale of social and economic diversity
requires a strong leadership model to prevent the chambers from splintering into hostile
factions.
Nevertheless, the parallels between the Legislature and the corrupt political boss system are
evident. In each, the leader calls the shots, and the followers - that is, the remaining 215 state
legislators - do as they're told, or else they're punished. They don't ask too many questions and
they don't have too much power, but they hold safe seats, draw healthy paychecks and, for
better or worse, leave some kind of mark on the history of New York.
"You can see Tammany Hall, without the corruption," said Lane.
A network of abuses
The Brennan Center for Justice detailed this and other government disorders two years ago in an
explosive report called "The New York State Legislative Process: An Evaluation and Blueprint for
Reform." The report, which famously (and accurately) tagged the New York State Legislature as the
nation's "most dysfunctional," contained a laundry list of offenses that empower the leaders, penalize
taxpayers and insulate the institution from the competition of adversaries and, worse, of ideas.
These include:
* A sham system of legislative committees that rarely considers pending bills and whose staffs
are beholden to each chamber's leader.
* Iron control by each leader over which bills make it to the floor for a vote. That ensures that
only bills the leaders favor can become law, and given the unhealthy influence leaders exert
over their timorous members, that every bill that comes to a vote passes.
Most broadly, the report cites five fundamental values served by a well-functioning legislature -
representativeness, deliberativeness, accessibility, accountability and efficiency - and concludes
that New York's Legislature flunks all of them. The report is available online at
www.brennancenter.org.
8
The report caused a flurry of activity in Albany, where the state budget, late for 20 consecutive
years, arrived on time in 2005, as it did this year. And some legitimate reforms followed,
including an end to "empty-seat voting" in the Assembly. That's the process by which lawmakers
who sign in for the day were automatically counted as having voted with the majority unless they
make a point to show up and vote otherwise. The Senate's response was muddier, but
Bartoletti, of the League of Women Voters, said she's seen no substantive change.
But the history of Albany reform is to do as little as possible, declare a new day and go about
business as usual. That's what has happened since the detonation of the Brennan Center
report.
It pains Thomas Mullane that he had to leave his native Buffalo. And it distresses him that he
may never be able to return to an area he calls home to "some of the nicest people in the
world."
But in North Carolina, Mullane found professional success that he says would never have been
his had he remained in the economic wasteland of upstate New York. He also found lower
taxes, a friendlier business climate and citizens who do not make a lifelong project of hindering
their region's progress.
Mullane, his wife Kim and their two young children left Buffalo for Winston-Salem last May. The
39-year-old insurance investigator saw no prospect of professional advancement anywhere in
upstate New York and made the wrenching decision to leave behind not only the city he loves,
but his larger family.
It was the right choice, he said. In Winston-Salem, his family settled into a 2,100-square-foot
home, about 25 percent larger than the home he left but with a tax bill almost 60 percent
smaller.
"It's amazing to me," said Mullane, who keeps up on Buffalo. "Taxes are still in the forefront of
the news there, but they're not a story in North Carolina. They're just not an issue."
As with the Toledo family, the Mullanes' move had a domino effect. Not long after he left, his
wife's parents made the jump, too, partly to find work and partly to be near their grandchildren.
One family fled New York, pulling another in its wake.
Mullane says his mother still hopes he'll return to this area, but he's doubtful.
"I love Buffalo," he said, "and I like New York State . . . If they just made it friendlier to live there
. . ."

DECLARATORY JUDGMENT AND EQUITY RELIEF
Relators urge the court to deny NYS Defendants MTD and grant a declaratory
judgment in the matter of overly vague and broad use of the Help America to

The New York Municipal Insurance Reciprocal is an insurer, as defined in Section 107(a)(37) of
the New York Insurance Law and organized pursuant to the provisions of Article 61 of the New York
Insurance Law. As provided by the provisions of Section 6102(b) of the New York Insurance Law the
declaration creating a municipal reciprocal was approved by Superintendent on August 23, 1993. The
Reciprocal was licensed on August 31, 1993 and commenced operations on the same day.
The Reciprocal was organized to provide a market source for New York State counties, towns,
villages, cities or district corporations organized and existing under the Finance Law of the State of New
York. NYMIR’s policyholders engage in the business of inter-insurance on the reciprocal plan, through
an Attorney-in-Fact. Each policyholder is a subscriber and only policyholders may be subscribers. The
subscribers share proportionately in all losses, expenses, and profits of the reciprocal, based on the
percentage their premium represents to the total written premium by NYMIR. To provide surplus,
NYMIR requires each subscriber, as a prerequisite to the initial purchase of an insurance policy, to
contribute to the surplus of NYMIR in accordance with such plan as developed by its Board of Governors.
Subscribers are required to contribute 20% of their initial surplus contribution or 8% percent of gross
premiums in each of the first five years, or at their option accelerate such contributions.
In accordance with Section 6102(12) of the New York Insurance Law, NYMIR has selected not to
be subject to coverage by the Property/Casualty Insurance Security Fund under Article 76 of the New
York Insurance Law. Accordingly, NYMIR issues assessable policies which provide for unlimited
A. Management
Pursuant to a declaration executed by the Superintendent of Insurance and Section 6102 of the
New York Insurance Law a board of governors was elected to act on behalf of the subscribers with powers
to supervise and control the Attorney-in-Fact and to control investment of the assets of the reciprocal
insurer, along with such power as may be conferred by the articles of association and the Subscribers’
Agreement. The Articles of Incorporation and the Subscribers’ Agreement specify that the board of
governors should consist of no fewer than nine members. As of December 31, 1999, the board of

The minutes of all of the meetings of the board of governors held during the examination period
were reviewed. The review indicated that the board held twenty regular meetings during the period,
January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1999, and that such meetings were well attended by the members.
The principal officers of the Reciprocal as of December 31, 1999 were as follows:

Wright Municipal Company, Inc.) was appointed to manage the day to day operations of NYMIR and to
assist the Attorney-in-Fact and the board of governors in the performance of their responsibilities pursuant
to the Subscriber’s Agreement and the New York Insurance Law. This agreement was renewed in 1998
with an effective date of July 1, 1998, for a five year term. In accordance with the terms of the new
agreement, the general scope of services to be rendered by the Manager includes staffing and facilities,
underwriting and policyholders services, engineering and management services, claims and loss control
services, and accounting services. The agreement also states that WRM shall receive a fee of 15.5% of all
gross written premiums, except that the fee shall be 17.5% of gross premium for any new business for the
In addition, the management agreement contains a provision regarding the settlement of claims.
This provision, however, is not specific as to WRM’s responsibility for the run-off of NYMIR’s claims in
the event of termination of the management agreement. It is recommended that the Reciprocal take the
necessary steps to amend its management agreement to provide more precise wording in regard to WRM’s
responsibility for the running-off of both known and incurred but not reported claims in the event that the
As of the examination date, the Reciprocal was licensed in the State of New York pursuant to
Article 61 of the New York Insurance Law to transact only the kinds of insurance as defined in the
following numbered paragraphs of Section 1113(a) of the New York Insurance Law:
4 Fire
5 Miscellaneous property
6 Water damage
7 Burglary and theft
8 Glass
9 Boiler and machinery
10 Elevator
13 Personal injury liability
14 Property damage liability
19 Motor vehicle and aircraft
physical damage
20 Marine and inland marine
Based upon the line of business for which the Reciprocal is licensed and pursuant to the
requirements of Article 61 of the New York Insurance Law, the Reciprocal is required to maintain surplus
The Reciprocal is licensed to write business only in the State of New York. Most of its business is
It was noted in the prior report on examination that the Reciprocal was accepting policy
applications and collecting premiums for certain lines of business that it was not licensed to write (boiler
and machinery, fidelity and surety, and inland marine insurance) and remitting such premium amounts to
other insurance entities. It was recommended in the prior report on examination that the Reciprocal
refrain from collecting premiums on behalf of other insurers, and that they devise an alternative method of
enabling their policyholders to obtain boiler and machinery, fidelity and surety, and inland marine
coverage.
It was noted during this examination that the Reciprocal has partially complied with the above
recommendation. The Reciprocal is now licensed to write boiler and machinery and inland marine
business. The Reciprocal, however, continues to accept applications and premiums for fidelity and surety
insurance and a certain parts of inland marine insurance for which it is not licensed. It was noted that the
premium collected for these lines of business have been reduced substantially. It is, however, again
recommended that the Reciprocal comply with the prior report on examination recommendation in that
the Reciprocal should refrain from collecting premiums on behalf of other insurers, and devise an
alternative method of enabling its policyholders to obtain fidelity and surety, inland marine (earthquake)
insurance coverages.
C. Reinsurance
The Schedule F data as contained in the Reciprocal’s annual statements filed for the years within
the examination period was found to accurately reflect its reinsurance transactions.
9
The examiner reviewed all ceded reinsurance contracts effected during the examination period.
All of these contracts contained the required standard clauses, including insolvency clauses meeting the
It was noted that two of the Reciprocal’s automatic facultative agreements (first property excess of
loss and casualty excess of loss) included an offset clause that was not compliance with Section 7427 of
the New York Insurance Law. The clause in the contract reads as follows: “ In the absence of applicable
law, either party may offset mutual debts and credits.” It is recommended that the Reciprocal amend the
captioned agreement to include the following wording, “In the event of the insolvency of either party to
this agreement then offsets shall be allowed to the extent permitted by the provisions of the New York
A review of the Reciprocal’s boiler and machinery reinsurance agreement shows that such contract
was still in draft form and was not signed by each respective party. Chapter 22 of the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual states the
following:
“…if a contract entered into, renewed or amended on or after January 1, 1994 has not been
finalized, reduced to a written form and signed by the parties within nine months after the commencement
of the policy period covered by the reinsurance arrangement, then the arrangement is presumed to be
retroactive and must be accounted for as a retroactive reinsurance contract.”
A review of Schedule F, Part 3 of the Reciprocal’s annual statement shows that the amounts ceded
and recoverable under this agreement are not material and no change has been made to the financial
statements in this report. It is, however, recommended in the future that the Reciprocal comply with
Chapter 22 of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners Accounting Practices and Procedures
As of the examination date, the Reciprocal had the following working excess of loss and quota

The captioned property automatic facultative reinsurance treaty provides four layers of coverage.
Layer one is placed at 100% percent. The second, third and fourth layers are placed at 75%, 86.67% and

examination:
The above ratios fall within the benchmark ranges set forth in the Insurance Regulatory

Amounts Ratios
E. Abandoned Property
Section 1316 of the Abandoned Property Law requires insurance companies to report to the
comptroller’s office annually on or before April 1 any properties that are deemed abandoned and have
14
been unclaimed for a three- year period. This filing is required by all companies regardless of whether
It was noted that the Reciprocal did not file an Abandoned Property report with the state
comptroller’s office as required by Section 1316 of the Abandoned Property Law for any of the years
under examination.
It is recommended that the Reciprocal comply with the Abandoned Property Law and file the
required reports.
F. Custodian Agreement
As of the examination date, the Reciprocal’s securities were held with a bank pursuant to a
custodial agreement. A review of the Reciprocal’s custodial agreement indicated that the agreement was
lacking several protective covenants that this Department deems necessary to safeguard the Reciprocal’s
assets, as follows:
1. The bank shall have in force, for its own protection, Bankers’ Blanket Bond
Insurance of the broadest form available for commercial banks and will continue to
maintain such insurance. The bank will give the insurer 60 days written notice of any
material change in the form or amount of such insurance prior to termination of this
coverage.
3. Furnish the insurer with the appropriate affidavits in the form as may be
acceptable to the New York Insurance Department in order for the securities referred to in
such affidavits to be recognized as admitted assets of the company.
4. There should be a provision in the agreement that would give the insurer the
opportunity to secure the most recent report on the review of the custodial system of
internal controls, pertaining to custodian record keeping, issued by internal or independent
auditors.
15
It is recommended that the Reciprocal amend its custodial agreement to include the above
G. Conflict of Interest
The Reciprocal adopted a policy statement pertaining to conflict of interest for its directors and
management. It was, however, noted that the Reciprocal failed to provide conflict of interest statements to
its directors and officers for the calendar years 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999.
It is recommended that the Reciprocal require its directors and officers to complete conflict of
i. Cash
In reviewing the cash on hand and on deposit it was noted that a discrepancy existed between the
Reciprocal’s authorized signature listing and the banking institution’s listing for specific cash accounts.
The Reciprocal’s cash represents an important part of its assets and it is extremely vital that the proper
It is recommended that the Reciprocal review and update its authorized signatories with the
ii. Regulation 30
A review of the Reciprocal’s compliance with the Department Regulation 30 was performed as
part of this examination. Regulation 30, Part 107.3 states that the composition of each expense group shall
be categorized under investment expenses, loss adjustment expenses, taxes, general expenses, and
acquisition, field and collection expenses. Management has indicated that, “NYMIR pays contractually
agreed upon fees to two entities: Wright Risk Management Company and The New York State
Government Services Foundation.” NYMIR records it entire management fee paid to WRM in its
underwriting and investment exhibit – Part 4 Expenses, under the captioned category – general expense
and acquisition, field and collection expense or other underwriting expense. The annual statement for
NYMIR does not include any allocation of fees paid to the entities for the administrative functions that
Based upon the Management’s representation and a review of the expenses reported in its filed
annual statements, it appears that the Reciprocal did not comply with Department Regulation 30. It was
also noted that the Reciprocal did not provide a proper allocation of its expenses as required by the
National Association Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) - Annual Statement Instructions. The annual
statement instructions provide specific instructions for the allocation of expense payment made to any non-
affiliated entity that provides management, administration, or services in whole or part to a Reciprocal’s
business or operations.
It is recommended that the Reciprocal undertake a study to determine the proper amounts to
allocate between expenses classified pursuant to Department Regulation 30, Part 107.3 and comply with
the NAIC Annual Statement Instructions with respect to expense classification accordingly. It is also
17
recommended that the Reciprocal comply with Regulation 30, Part 107.4(e)(1), which states in part “that
the method and bases followed in allocation to expense group shall be described, kept and supported.”

was general in nature and is not to be construed to encompass the more precise scope of a market conduct

Legislation granting non-citizens the right to vote is expected to pass in New York City this year,
immigration rights advocates tell the Amsterdam News.
"We’ re very excited and very optimistic that this will pass," New York City Councilman Charles Barron
said at a recent press briefing. "We see this as the historical launching of something that should have
happened a long time ago," the outspoken Democrat added.
Dubbed the "Voting Rights Restoration Act," the measure would permit immigrants who have a green
card to vote in municipal elections, including for mayor, comptroller and city council, after having lived
in the city for six months.
The New York Coalition to Expand Voting Rights sees the measure being extended one day to state
and even federal elections. "There is nothing in either the U.S. or the New York State Constitution that
prevents us from expanding the franchise to include non-citizen residents," a spokesman for the group
argued in January.
Story Continues Below
Advocates claim that 22 states and federal territories allowed non-citizen voting during the 18th and
19th centuries. In New York, non-citizen residents were denied the right to vote in 1804. According to
the Caribbean news service, Heartbeat News, the measure's impact on New York City elections would
be substantial, adding up to 1.5 million voters to rolls. Most of the new voters, experts predict, would
cast their ballots for Democrats.
While New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has voiced opposition to the proposal, City Council
Speaker Christine Quinn told the Amsterdam News that she's "open to talking about passage."
In a statement issued by her office, City Council Member Melissa Mark Viverito praised the measure,
explaining:
"East Harlem, Mott Haven and the Upper West Side are home to at least 25 thousand non-citizens of
voting age who contribute in countless ways to the economic, social and cultural vitality of District 8
and NYC as a whole. Unfortunately they are not allowed to directly participate in choosing the
municipal representatives who make the policies that affect their daily lives."

Strunk Declaration Page 10
Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-80
This Office has received inquiries about the legal obligations of employers to accommodate
employees’requests to take time off to participate in activities scheduled for May 1
recognizing the contributions of working immigrants to the national economy and local
communities. Some businesses will be closing for the demonstrations, while others will
remain open.
My office has received information that some employers are threatening to fire or take other
action against employees who take time off for this purpose. There have been reports in the
press that workers who attended previous demonstrations were fired solely for their
attendance at those events.
Federal labor law protects every employee’ s right to engage in concerted activities for
"mutual aid and protection," including calling for change in existing laws to improve working
conditions. The courts have held that participation by employees in demonstrations and rallies
like those planned for May 1 are protected activities under that provision.
Employers may impose reasonable requirements needed to keep their businesses functioning,
and employees must comply with those requirements. However, if adverse action, including
discharge, is taken against employees solely because of their participation in these activities,
the employer may be found to have violated the rights of those employees and could be
subject to legal action.
